ACME Corp Environment Variables at Scale

This scenario demonstrates managing environment variables across multiple applications using coolify_envs_bulk for atomic bulk operations. Shared variables (database URL, log level, app environment) are defined once in locals and merged with per-app overrides via merge().

Resources Used

Resource	Purpose
coolify_project	Project container
coolify_database_postgresql	Shared database (source of connection string)
coolify_application_docker_image	API application (nginx)
coolify_application_docker_image	Worker application (redis)
coolify_envs_bulk	Atomic bulk env vars for API app
coolify_envs_bulk	Atomic bulk env vars for Worker app

Pattern Highlights

• Shared variables via locals: Define common env vars once, reuse everywhere.
• merge() for per-app overrides: Combine shared vars with app-specific ones.
• Atomic bulk updates: coolify_envs_bulk sets all variables in a single API call, preventing partial state where some vars are updated and others are not.
